and there is no fully working method to check if js is disabled. 
"noscript" tag is not reliable, 'cause people tend to use all kind of 
blockers these days, and some of that blockers can be flawed. and then 
people will complain that "this site is not working with javascript 
disabled", while js is technically not disabled, but restricted in some 
way.

sadly, i don't know a good solution to this.
